Perfectly happy listening to U Roy thanks.

Possible, but at 56 I'm probably not DJ Shadow's core market! I also love Tony Bennet, Led Zeppelin and Mozart's Grand Mass is one of my favourite pieces of music. Perhaps I'm just odd.

Just saddened that this time around there has been such peurile negativity. Any sensible criticism would be welcome, but comparing DJ Shadow to roadworks, or the lame 30/35 second "quips" is not the level of discussion I'd expect from fellow musicians.

Seems like some folk can't cope with two positive threads about rap at the same time. Guess I revived this at the wrong moment.

Just watched. What a fantastic performance. Thanks for posting @ClassicVibes

Thread revival because of the love being shown on the Brits thread for Dave, and also because I've heard this stunner a few times recently.]

Blimey, too close for comfort - I was going for Too Much Too Young though. First genre musical movement I got into.

That's not an age thing. Musical references and inspiration for many are far older than they are. I'm looking to break out of the Blues Rock genre so am starting to look around for people with different interests rather than different ages.

Very, very happy with mine. Great tone, easy to use, plenty loud enough, and have had it for over a year with no problems.

Ok, going a bit far fetched here but could you get some Bluetooth bits and use it as a cool wall mounted controller for an audio player (use the knobs and have a readout in the pickup cavities)?

For me, pleasing an audience is the ultimate aim, but if they are not there, watching the football, or totally dis-engaged then I still enjoy just playing in a band situation.

Looking great - particularly like the orange and Frankenstein ones.

Jon posted pictures of a new one today - stunning!

Liking Let's Start, but Sheriff was just a touch too cheesy for me. Thanks for posting.

How on earth does that get described as Very Good condition? Great instruments those Blades though.

I use a Carvin BX500 and as you say, there is very little difference with valve on or off. I believe that the valve they used was a little polite. The opposite to what a lot of people said about the Orange Terror. May be worth experimenting with some different makes?

Average White Band - two lead singing bass players, Alan Gorrie and Hamish Stuart.

First concert - BB King Hammersmith Odeon late 70s Last concert - Eliana Cargnelutti Worthing Factory Jan 2020 Best concert - John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers 70th Birthday Concert Liverpool 2003 Worst concert - King King Brighton Concord 2 2019 Loudest concert - Alice Cooper Hammersmith - ears ringing for two days. Seen the most - BB King Most surprising - Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin & Al Dimeola Royal Albert Hall Next concert - Lee Scratch Perry at The Factory Worthing Wish I would have seen - Weather Report at Hammersmith Odeon - yes I had tickets, yes it was with Jaco, yes, I forgot to go...

Give it a few months...

I was a big fan of the World Machine album back in the day. This might seem odd on this forum, but for me it was not "all about the bass" as they were a fantastic band with great material, and, as @chris_b has pointed out, it was never really about Mark King's voice. I think your video is great; way stronger than you suggest in your original post. It really now is all about selling it, so yes, a good agent is possibly the next step.

Don't know what their range is like now, but Ritter (not the basses) used to make a lot of unusual shape/size bags. Have a browse: http://ritter-bags.com/static/pdf/catalog.pdf

Is that going to be one of his Artist basses - always had a modest amount of GAS for one of those. https://shukerguitars.co.uk/basses/shuker-artist-bass/

Lauren Laverne played this tasty number this morning. Love the bass tone (and its prominence in the mix).
